Chalkida, Administrative center in Euboea, Greece

Located at the narrowest point of the Euripus Strait, Chalkida connects the mainland of Greece to Euboea Island through two bridges.

The city established itself as a significant Mediterranean trading port during the 8th century BCE, founding multiple colonies across the region.

The Fortress of Karababa, constructed during Ottoman rule, stands as a primary monument displaying military architecture from different historical periods.

The municipal services office in central Chalkida handles administrative matters for residents of five distinct municipal units including Avlida and Nea Artaki.

The waters beneath the Euripus Bridge change direction every six hours, creating an exceptional natural phenomenon observed by visitors throughout the year.
